On Orange Shirt Day we take accountability for things done in the past, and we work to build understanding and connection moving forward so the true work of reconciliation can happen. Pow wow, walking together, and a smudge offered by Mrs Dixon. 🧡

Terry Fox 2024 at 100 Mile Elementary. We ran with pride as Canadians, and with Terry’s hope that one day there will be a cure.

The first week back to school and Mrs Simcox’s 5/6 class heads out into the garden right away. #takemeoutside

Saying “Hello!” and “Goodbye” all in the same morning. Kindies to join us, and grade 8s starting their journey into high school. 100 Mile Elementary is ready for a new year. 🐺 @SD27_CC

The secret to greatness: Pick your thing. Pick a good system for your thing. Surround yourself with people who support you doing your thing. Do your thing for a decade.

Compassionate Systems starts within us. Starting summer with a deep dive into this vital work. @HollyZurak @TessRileyVP @LenardonCheryl @BCPVPA

Connecting to place and each other. Happy to see a friend from Foundations For School Leaders and to hear how we are both advancing Indigenous & Outdoor Education in our districts. @takemeoutside @BCPVPA

Prepped and served a fruit & yogurt bar today. This precious time lets me connect to my students and check in after the weekend. #feedingfutures @SD27_CC

Connecting with provincial partners and colleagues on #feedingfutures and keeping bellies full. Fed bellies are brains that can learn. A beautiful afternoon walk to top it off. @SD27_CC @LenardonCheryl

Looking at Trauma Informed practice through a Circle of Courage lens. Collective responsibility allows us to approach our students in a multi-faceted way, leaning on each other for supports that fit each relationship. This is important work. @SD27_CC @HollyZurak @LenardonCheryl

And they danced the night away. Joyful kids fill my heart. Connection and belonging are central to my practice as a principal and this was a perfect opportunity for both. Thank you to @jameslytton1 for bringing your students to join us too. @SD27_CC

It’s book fair time!

Small joys. A group of girls was making these at lunch. I said I thought they were beautiful, especially the green. After lunch, these arrived on my desk. 💚 I love being a principal.

Training season! Cross country running today in the glorious sun. ☀️

Special delivery! My grade one helper takes his job very seriously as we deliver milk & apples to the primary classes. Fed bellies = brains that are ready to learn! 🥛 🍎 #feedingfutures @SD27_CC

A special Monday treat! La Befana, presented fully in French, was performed for our French Immersion gang this morning. What better way to start the week?!

@chris24v @JaneGoodallInst @LenardonCheryl @JannArdenPod Wow. What an experience that must have been!

Wonderfully thought provoking evening with @JaneGoodallInst celebrating her 90th B-day. “It is only when head and heart work in harmony that we can recognize our true human potential” @LenardonCheryl @JannArdenPod

Teachers. EAs. ISWs. This is how we COLLABORATE. Today’s staff meeting was themed around Outdoor Ed and creating opportunities for teachers to create plans with new resources to get outside. #takemoutside @SD27_CC

Grades 4/5 learning about A Little Spot of Emotion. Simple self-regulation strategies developed at a young age give students a solid foundation for well-being in their later years. #mentalhealth #100milelearns @SD27_CC
